Kukla's Korner Hockey

After three days of meetings, the Carolina Hurricanes’ future is starting to come into clearer focus, and it’s not a future that includes Josef Vasicek.
The Canes have decided not to re-sign Vasicek, general manager Jim Rutherford said today, preferring to look elsewhere for a new third-line center.
“We’d like to try to make a change at center, either by trade or through free agency,” Rutherford said. “Obviously with a trade you’d have to give something up, so free agency may be the way to go.”
